If you're in Sacramento around noon today - I can take you. Doesn't look like you will be but thought I'd check!

Hi Loves! UHaul fucked me over and moved my truck rental to Rancho Cordova, so I'm flying into Sacramento and picking it up. I have TONS of room for gear (empty UHaul) and room for ONE burner. I cannot take you into BRC - the truck will be full by then. I CAN get you to Reno. Hit me up if you need t...

Sunset. Sunset. Sunset. Get your ass back to camp for something warm, or bring it with you. I go from a skirt and a tank top to sliding leggings under the skirt and throwing my winter coat on, pretty damn fast. <3

What if there's a swarm of killer bees in Rock Springs, Wyoming?

Very true, you never know! Or a flock of vindictive birds.

I think he mixed the dates up, no EA at the moment

This man is amazing and a bestie and he's got his shade and food and water covered :) It's been a crazy fun logistical nightmare figuring that out! Thanks to the Videogasm truck, we can ship big items from Michigan. Most of my supplies are in a storage unit in Reno. I typically fly to Reno from Mich...

The Pretty Pickle Camp is excited to be back in the 9:00 district and will be at 9:15 and F!

It can be difficult to find, but here's a tip: wake up in the morning with your tent vibrating from Bass, stand up and scratch your vibrating balls. Turn left and walk five feet vibrating to someone's blaring sound system, sorry "art". Or right. Turning right will also do. Ahahahaha, you gave me a ...

After two burns in a 2 person Coleman Sundome tent with a little aluminum shade structure over top, I finally FINALLY ordered a Kodiak tent yesterday. I am beyond geeked to stand up in my tent. STANDING is such a luxury I had not realized. I was at the burn for 10 days last year and vowed to have a ...

Thanks for posting this Ratty! I completely agree - we, as a community, and BMORG, do need to address diversity in our population and how we welcome that. I understand we are comfortable expressing ourselves...that's not what I'm talking about

First year, I had a u-lock with a key. I was deathly afraid of LOSING that key. Second year, I bought a word lock, and made it an easy to remember word. I liked the ease of a 4 letter combination. I hated the coiled lock and snap back and having to do it ever $%^ing time. I think folks are right, if...

My Merrell boots with Vibram rubber soles are what I've used for two years, plus hiking at home, and I absolutely adore them. breathable, comfy, totally worth the $100 investment for that much usage. They aren't even falling apart yet. (yet). Yes to multiple shoe types and yes to lots of socks, try ...

My partner doesn't want to go with me. She highly considered it because she missed me so much for the week I was gone...and I've heard other spouses say that's why they end up going...but she won't commit yet this year and I will not push her. She can come if she wants to. I have all the gear set up...

When were you there? Because, that section of the Esplanade got DARK on like...Friday night? Thursday night? at 3am. It wasn't just RH, it was OT and surrounding areas too. Dark and stormy. I moved from OT to RH to home because of it.

Cheers: - Pretty Pickle Camp - I met my family. YAAAAAAY. - All the Eplayans who helped me with ideas and thoughts and perspectives along the way. The EZ-Up and small tent worked, and I went with 10 inch rebar. Everything worked great. - ELIOTT! And his sweet ass bicycle. - VIDEOGASM and their amazi...

Intention and energy and where you direct it is EVERYTHING. BM is just a microcosm of the universe. Put your energy and attention on the right things, at the right time, and make shit happen.

And I love you all.

Squish <3

I agree with Badger. Based on my experience with their support, they are pretty on top of things. I would expect a reply in a day or two from when you sent your request. I do not believe there is any wristband or anything like that. Just be sure to be early and on time for the return trip!

This is amazing and yep, I can do this. Building a monkey hut next year. Wowsa, thank you very much!

I feel like I have an arsenal. First off, Lobelia is the SHIT omg I've been expelling/coughing/getting it out since I started taking it yesterday evening. Thanks, Fossa! Whoa. I got Zinc tablets and Vitamin C tablets with rose hips. I shall up the C accordingly and see how much I can stand lol. BE G...

Thanks AntiM and Eric! I did take an allergy med yesterday, but not yet today. I'll try that when I get home. Zina, Lobelia and Allergy Meds. I thought it was allergies at first, then it went crazy on me. Yarrrrr. Appreciate the helpful advice

I like that idea, it's worth a shot! :) YAY HOME! And holy crap, nice trailer work! Some assembly required, indeed. Videogasm is still in Snowflake Village right? Yes, Videogasm is in Snowflake Village. 2:45 and keyhole/E. I'm camping with the Pretty Pickle Camp crew over at 9:15 and H. It should b...

HI!!!! YAY thank you all for the uber helpful suggestions. I shall go get some Lobelia and zinc. And sleep. There is zinc in the Emergen-C but I figure it can't hurt to have more. I am using my neti pot. I agree that for me, it can go one of both ways (sinus infection or cleansing). So far so good o...

I hate having to spend money on two, though :? Completely side issue, and you've simply reminded me of this in myself, I'm not saying you're like this... Ever notice how some things you cheap out on and some things you spend the cash right away? That could be an interesting discussion. Yes. As I ju...

I like that idea, it's worth a shot! YAY HOME!


And holy crap, nice trailer work! Some assembly required, indeed.

This is kind of OT, but at the same time, I can't think of anything I need MORE right now than to get well before travelling and being in the desert for a week. I'm trying everything I can think of to get over this cold/respiratory crap before I leave on Monday. Any additional ideas, tricks, ceremon...

Loaded my gear, and others' gear, onto the Videogasm truck last night. So, so much fun and REAL-ness to hang out with burners and get a coating of playa dust on my boots and jeans from gear.

Now, to get over this COLD/FLU/THING before I leave on Monday

I was planning on rolling mine. But, now I shall politely ask for help, if I end up dragging it. I'm heading to the 9:00 side so I hope that'll help.

I may have missed it because that was a lot of text, but, where are you travelling from? Are there local burners you can connect with? Maybe a truck is going out that you can pay to help ship your stuff? Or, a burner friend you can ask to bring your water? There are a million and one ways to plan yo...

Finalized my packing, everything except for fresh produce and some clothes, last night. Whew. I have lots of stuff. Bringing a nice selection of locally brewed Michigan canned beers to the playa <3 Feeling OK about prep. I've read a lot, tried to prepare best I can, I've set up a lot, logistics are ...

You can do an EZ-Up at half mast, but you have to secure it down like crazy and yes to the rebar and yes to the ratchet straps. Lean-to style one tarp, one side of tent shade is something people have posted. Maybe you can also tent near something like a big RV, and use it to help shade? Failing that...
